We normally shy away from the larger ships with many people but decided to take advantage of a great deal. After a few days in rainy Miami we embarked with the usual process, which was not bad at all. The ship was clean. More importantly our cabin was spotless. The food was awesome! The specialty spots such as Guys burger bar, the deli, and the Indian food place on the aft lido really were a nice change. Evening dining was always good with numerous choices. Food is not usually the strong point on a ship with this many people. The pizza bar was a savior at 2 A.M.

The shows were average at best. We really missed the professional musicians of the stage band, which may be a thing of the past now. Very little activities to do on board other than your standard bingo and trivia games. We didn't care, too many other reasons to be cruising. The ports and excursions were very standard, although we found St. Kitts to be very romantic where we ended up.

Disembarkation was a mess. They need to work on this. Regardless of directions not come down until your number was called, stampedes of people made their way to the clogged stairwells. Oh well, very nice time and memories for all.
